There's something about a holiday that isn't all about how much money you spend.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even after creating a budget and being more money conscience, it's still easy to overspend during the holidays.
I spend my money on holidays and eating out, and it allows me to be generous.
People know that you can't spend more than you have.
In my experience, those who make the biggest fuss about not spending much at Christmas are generally the ones who buy what they want and eat where they want 12 months a year.
The holidays are also a time when people freak out about their finances. If you don't want to spend the money, why not try some of the other options instead of killing a bunch of animals?
Nobody thought about having more money than you could ever spend.
If you go away with, you know, a girlfriend, wife, whatever, you have an argument on holiday because you're not used to spending that much time with people.
If you are spending too much, you cut back on spending and you raise your revenues. And that's it.
Honestly, I'm not an extravagant person; I don't spend a lot of money.
For me, a good holiday is about value for money rather than things to see.
